ParentDish's Top 10 School Uniform Moments in Pop Culture

Is the school uniform becoming the latest tween and teen fashion trend? You bet your plaid shirt and navy blazer.

At least that's the word from French Toast, a supplier of school uniforms for boys and girls. The company claims the presence of uniforms in pop culture is helping the private school make the fashion grade.

And, just like the high school students attending "Gossip Girl's" Constance Billard School for Girls on New York's Upper East Side, French Toast says kids are accessorizing their uniforms with everything from scarves to jewelry to add their own twist to their outfits.

All this talk got us thinking of our favorite movies, music videos and TV shows featuring school uniforms. Here's ParentDish's top 10:

1. Harry Potter: Harry would hardly be the icon he is today without his trademark Hogwarts uniform. His maroon and yellow scarf even made its way into trendy closets of Muggles everywhere.

2. Gossip Girl: Blair, Serena and Jenny took prep school uniforms and made them the height of fashion, with designers and magazine editors clamoring to translate the show's popularity to retail sales.

3. The Facts of Life: Before there was Blair Waldorf, there was Blair Warner. Watching Mrs. Garrett and her girls take the good and take the bad had many a teen wishing she could go to boarding school.

4. The Trouble with Angels: This 1966 coming of age movie, set in a Catholic school for girls, is sure to bring back memories for fellow Catholic school students.
